What's the point of your system having both "legal first name" and "preferred first name" fields if you then just use the legal first name for everything across the site and all correspondence?

Can’t remember the last time we got not just a winter weather advisory, but a snow squall warning. Be safe out there, DMV.

Just heard the term “internauts” on a 90s clip from PBS and I propose we bring that term back. How are you, fellow interauts?

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

yes next question

i’ll be at the Queer Voices market at Open Book in Minneapolis hawking some wares (both new and old) from 11-4 this Saturday! They also have a quiet/sensory shopping hour from 10-11. Hope to see you there!

Sometimes when I’m brushing my dog’s undercoat, I get the strongest flashbacks to carding wool to spin it. Maybe I should spin her fur 😆

Oh no I’ve been accurately targeted by advertisements and am having to fight consumerist instincts once again. But look at this lamp. LOOK AT IT.

it’s trans day of remembrance, and once again i am asking people to give a shit about trans people *before* they’re dead

Literally every time I have to write/type either the word "angle" or "angel" I sing the first line of "Of Angels and Angles" by The Decemberists in order to be able to spell it correctly. Dyslexia is a bitch and sometimes the coping mechanisms we create are weird, ok?

The Wayback Machine, openlibrary.org, and some other archive.org functions are offline because some network gear has failed. We apologize and are working on it. More as it happens.

My wife works out of the house, at a clinic in the city. I work from home, and do chores and take care of our dogter (dog daughter) during breaks in my day. I’m a house spouse and couldn’t be happier.

got to tattoo this little guy from off my Halloween flash sheet~ My books are open for December and January! Thanks so much, y’all 🖤

This is really fun!

I have an AMA starting now on Reddit. www.reddit.com/r/SecurityCa...

i have a cancellation for this Saturday at 4:30, if you want to come in to get a little flash!

Just a little angler friend~ My client wanted stronger lighting than the design originally had, always happy to make little tweaks to flash! My books are open for early December and January!

There were no elections for me to vote on here in Maryland yesterday, but I still had a democracy sausage anyway.

Four years ago today my legal name change was granted.

Always an honor to memorialize The Mushroom Shitpost onto people’s bodies 🖤🙏🖤 thank you for your trust!

I’m raising money for Groveland Emergency Food Shelf, a South Minneapolis nonprofit that provides emergency groceries for those in need. They’re currently struggling to keep up with demand, and they’re getting their first $16k in donations matched. I’ve got $50 on it! Can anyone match me?

Kubernetes SIG Security is updating the OWASP Top 10 for Kubernetes, and we're seeking community input on it! What do you think should be included? Fill out our survey here!

Proud of the PSF for standing for its people and on its principles when so many are folding for funding. Python is easily my most used language these days. Most of my day-to-day coding problems get solved in it, and every challenge I wrote for a CTF this year was written in it. Easy decision.

as a condition of funding, we were asked to affirm that we wouldn’t undertake any diversity, equity, and inclusion work, whether or not we used the government funds to do so. The PSF simply couldn’t agree to that statement,

Proud of the Python Software Foundation for doing the right thing and standing up for their people, even when it’s hard. Especially when it’s hard.

Counterpoint: Robots SHOULD replace workers. Human value shouldn't be contingent on labor for others.

If only Asimov had the foresight to add the fourth law of robotics: join a union. Imagine how many fewer robots would replace workers.

🎃 Halloween flash drop and a market announcement! 🎃 'Tis finally the season! All designs on this sheet are repeatable, and my prices are $100-200 sliding scale/hr of tattooing. i'll also be selling some stickers of these (and other halloween goodies) at Ciderween this weekend! Come on out~

sneak peek of some stickers i will have for sale at Ciderween!

sneak peek of my halloween flash!

Driving through Oklahoma there was a highway sign with two town names on it. I asked my spouse “how is that town pronounced” and she looked at me funny and said “Rentiesville?” (Pronounced how it looks). Of the two, that’s the one she thought I might have trouble with. Chat, the other was Oktaha

Thanks to the many speakers who have shared their presentation decks from Blue Team Con 2025. They've been added to the individual talk pages on our site - check it out! blueteamcon.com/talks-blue-t...

I accidentally glitched out an animation I was working on and created a perfect example of what the passage of time feels like to someone with ADHD

The phrase/term "inbox zero" occupies a spot in my brain adjacent to "armor class zero" such that any time someone proudly announces they've emptied their unreads, I think of AD&D

Opposing counsel: I respect your practice model but don't you think representing people for whatever they can pay gives poor people an unfair advantage? How is it fair to my client when I'm charging them hourly?

*someone upends my browser profile* my tabbages!

CHINGA LA MIGRA 🐊💥 risograph prints will be with me at SPX on some kind of sliding scale, with sales donated to the Florida Immigrant Coalition, a coalition of advocacy groups across the state, and CASA, a group active here in Maryland as well as Virginia and Pennsylvania.

At the Twin Cities Makers Market until 6pm! It’s starts just south of Bench Pressed in Minneapolis~ (i’m closer to 24th, though)

What romhacks do you give someone who asks you for recs for their first few? After telling them 96-exit vanilla of course

ooh i love a softcover~ check out this nifty anthology (that i’m in!!)
